Today I have been reminded from other blogs that it is National Handwriting Day. I have already done some handwriting as I composed a letter to a penpal. I should be writing more letters later including answering some 5Q5L some people have asked on my snailmail forum. There is still plenty of time to participate this month although I wonder if some members are saving up for the February letter writing frenzy of LetterMo and/or InCoWriMo.
I have used up the last space in my address book for one of the letters. Do I start a new address book? I still have the Simon Drew address book my mother bought for my birthday a few years ago, as well as others I have bought along the way but haven't started. I suppose I could do with starting afresh as there are people who've moved or not continued with our correspondence.
I have the same address book I've used for more than a decade. I can't bear to get rid of it so when a letter gets filled up, I cover up older addresses that are no longer current with a post it note with a new address on it. This works very well actually as I can remove the sticky note if that address becomes out of date. Maybe you could try that out and see if it works for you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually started the Simon Drew address book. I started a different one with plenty of space for addresses of several lines long (although there are no lines in this particular book). After writing a few addresses in it, I decided it is not as nice as the Simon Drew or the one I've run out of W space in.
